Elégante Cage à Oiseaux De La Fin Du XIX E Siècle.

This delicious bird cage is an unusual object. Finding its origins in the cages of automatons and "whistling birds" very popular in European courts and salons of the 18th century, the model that we are presenting to you is from the end of the 19th century. It is made of brass and beautifully made. Square at its base, it then becomes hexagonal. Ending in a dome, the finish at the top allows the object to be hung from the ceiling or on a bracket. A historic door in smoked glass and “art deco” style opens the cage. She reveals a little bird delicately placed on a swing. In the 19th century, bird cages were fashionable since many residences were equipped with winter gardens. These cages simply decorated the narrow unoccupied spaces between two green plants.
